chem.uic.edu › our-research › bioanalyticalXiaojing Yang performs research that centers on a fundamental question - how living organisms perceive, convert, and integrate physical and chemical signals into biological signals at the molecular level? To address this question, we focus on three areas of research: 1) signaling mechanisms of bacterial sensor proteins in response to light and oxygen; 2) structures and dynamics of circadian photoreceptors in plants and animals; 3) light harvesting and photosynthesis in cyanobacteria.
